20 Minute Leg-Core-Plyo Circuit

This morning I knew I wanted to do a workout that targeted my legs and my core.  I also knew I only had about 20 minutes to complete it.  I came up with the following circuit and was quite happy with the outcome.  My heart rate was elevated, my legs were burning, and I was all hot and sweaty--signs of a good workout. I did the following exercises for a minute each, with no rest in between each exercise. 

• Squats with dumbbells
• Deadlifts with dumbbells
• Alternate heel drops on  back
• Jumping jacks
• Lunges with dumbbells
• Sumo Squats with dumbbells
• High plank with alternate arm and leg lifts
• Running in place with high knees
• Glute bridge
• Reverse plank pulses
• Low plank alternating knees in and out, mountain climber style
• Running in place kicking butt
• Squats with dumbbells
• Side to side skater lunges with one dumbbell
• High plank with leg lifts, 10 at a time each leg
• Jump rope (with or without actual rope)
• Curtsey squats
• Front-loaded squats with heels elevated on dumbbells or a step
• Up-down planks
• Burpees

That's it; you're done.  I couldn't believe how quickly the 20 minutes flew by.   I rounded out my exercise for the day with a with a 3 mile run WITHOUT the stroller.  I couldn't believe how much lighter and quicker I felt.  Still love jogging with the boys though and not gonna give it up any time soon.
